Do It Yourself Numerology: How to Unlock the Secrets of Your Personality with Numbers.

Numbers are so prevalent in our lives--from telephone numbers to zip codes to flight schedules--that we tend to take them for granted, and sometimes even curse their proliferation. However, Sonia Ducie encourages us to see numbers in a different light. With a fairly simple method for working out the numerological influences in your life, Do It Yourself Numerology takes an in-depth look at what each number means to your career, your personality, and even your romantic interests. Ducie's system works with a straightforward examination of your birthday, without the confusing pyramids or magic squares found in a lot of traditional systems. Unlike other numerologists, who reduce two-digit numbers by adding the digits together, Ducie applies meaning to numbers from 1 to 31, allowing the individual characteristics of each day of the month to express themselves. While the book is somewhat limited in its scope, it's well-suited for beginners, giving you a new appreciation of the influences numbers have in your life. --Brian Patterson
